Passage / Scenario
A child who is experiencing a seizure.A nurse is caring for a child who is experiencing a seizure. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
The correct action is to position the child laterally. This helps prevent aspiration and maintains an open airway. Restraining the child's arms can cause injury. Using a padded tongue blade is unnecessary during a seizure. Attempting to stop the seizure is not within the nurse's scope; focus should be on safety and support.
